Now you've done it Joksa, I really don't need this kind of mental kindling.

I wonder how hard it would be to hang a SOHC from that rafter.

ROFL! i have a CX500 Frame and a spare 750 motor... HMMMMM.... Maybe I should break out the welder and some spare tubing...

Ok, but I need to make a Home Depot run First...

Let's see... I'll need some Duck tape, Gorilla glue, A box of #12 Machine Screws, some stir sticks... A whistle... A box of Matches, bailing wire, a slightly used weed wacker, and a rubber chicken!

Sorry to hear about your bro MR B.
The ducktail on that one was made from a cb360T tank, very cool.

yikes mr breeze. sorry to hear that.
such a sweet looking bike though. how are those things to work on?

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #1139 on:** March 18, 2009, 06:54:03 AM »

Not to sure Dan, never worked on one, never really got into shaft driven bikes.

Mick

rachet · « **Reply #1140 on:** March 18, 2009, 06:55:39 AM »

I've only played around on mine (I really do own a CX500, see the thread http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=48079.msg505686#msg505686 ) and it seemed pretty straight forward. It's water cooled, so that adds a little to the complexity, but not much. I purchased it from my neighbor who said it was a very smooth engine and nice to ride.

While looking around for one of these bikes for sale last night I found this http://www.elsham.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cx500/history/
If the guy is indeed as informed as it seems like he might be it sounds like parts are hard to find.

I found prices for them to be $500-1500.

Ecosse · « **Reply #1142 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:11:24 AM »

don't know much about 'built ta go's' but i've seen some nice ones on this forum.

i'm told in spite of some particulars those cx/silverwings are stone reliable. personally, i think they look darn cool over all. that red cafe is quite cool

this one is from a french site i think.

Ecosse · « **Reply #1143 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:37:08 AM »

speaking of cx's... and flat/dirt trackers

... this was honda's early factory effort with a cx mill turned side ways.

Flying J · « **Reply #1144 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:40:51 AM »

Now that might be a good idea for a copper with a poor mans v twin look.

Ecosse · « **Reply #1145 on:** March 18, 2009, 11:30:49 AM »

Yeah, I wonder how much of a PITA it would be to do.

OK, with bobber, tracker, v twin, Italian, ricocheting inside my noggin this seemed relevant.

Industrial Rat400f Killer · « **Reply #1146 on:** March 18, 2009, 11:33:48 AM »

Awesome Duc!

Ecosse · « **Reply #1147 on:** March 18, 2009, 11:36:54 AM »

I don't want to be accused of abandoning all loyalties.

Here's a cool work in progress on a French site, Fat Club.

edit: I believe the Fat Club is also the original source for the CX I posted and the SV earlier. Google Fat Club France.
